I am standing on the upper deck of the football stadium. I have an egg in my hand. I am going to drop it and you are going to tr

y to catch it. You are standing on the ground. Apparently, you do not want to stand directly under me; in fact, you would like to stand as far to one side as you can so that if I accidentally release it, it won’t hit you on the head. If you can run at 20 feet per second and I am at a height of 100 feet, how far away can you stand and still catch the egg if you start running when I let go?

Answer:

Δx = 25 ft.

Explanation:

Assuming that the person on the ground starts running at the same time as the egg is dropped, we have two simultaneous trajectories:

1 ) Egg falling:

If the egg is dropped, and we neglect the air resistance, we can use the kinematic equation that relates the distance and fall time, as follows:

yf-y₀ = 1/2* g* t²

If we take the up direction as positive, we can solve for t as follows:

0-100 ft = 1/2* (-32.15 ft/s²)* t²

⇒ t = \sqrt{(100*2)/32.15} = 2.5 sec.

2) Person on the ground running away:

In order to be able to run away, and then return to catch the egg, running at constant speed, he must run during exactly the half of the time that the egg is falling, i.e., 1.25 sec.

We can get the distance at which he can reach, applying the definition of velocity:

v = (xf-x₀) / (tfi-t₀)

If we choose t₀=0 and x₀ = 0 , we can solve for xf, as follows:

xf = v*t = 20 ft/sec*1.25 sec = 25 ft.

A square-thread power screw has a major diameter of 32 mm and a pitch of 4 mm with single threads, and it is used to raise a loa
Valentin [98]

Answer:

54mm.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following data or parameters or information that is going to assist in solving this type of question efficiently;

=> "A square-thread power screw has a major diameter of 32 mm"

=> "a pitch of 4 mm with single threads"

=> " and it is used to raise a load putting a force of 6.5 kN on the screw."

=> The coefficient of friction for both the collar and screw is .08."

=> "If the torque from the motored used to raise the load is limited to 26 N×M."

Step one: determine the lead angle. The lead angle can be calculated by using the formula below;

Lead angle = Tan^- (bg × T/ Jh × π ).

=> Jh = J - T/ 2. = 32 - 4/2. = 30mm.

Lead angle = Tan^- { 1 × 4/ π × 30} = 2.43°.

Step two: determine the Torque required to against thread friction.

Starting from; phi = tan^-1 ( 0.08) = 4.57°.

Torque required to against thread friction = W × Jh/2 × tan (lead angle + phi).

Torque required to against thread friction =( 6500 × 30/2) × tan ( 2.43° + 4.57°). = 11971.49Nmm.

Step three: determine the Torque required to against collar friction.

=> 2600 - 11971.49Nmm = 14028.51Nmm.

Step four = determine the mean collar friction.

Mean collar friction = 14028.51Nmm/0.08 × 6500 = 27mm

The mean collar diameter = 27 × 2 = 54mm.

Mohr's circle represents: A Orientation dependence of normal and shear stresses at a point in mechanical members B The stress di
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A : Orientation dependence of normal and shear stresses at a point in mechanical members

Explanation:

Since we know that in a general element of any loaded object the normal and shearing stresses vary in the whole body which can be mathematically represented as

\sigma _{x'x'}=\frac{\sigma _{xx}+\sigma _{yy}}{2}+\frac{\sigma _{xx}-\sigma _{yy}}{2}cos(2\theta )+\tau _{xy}sin(2\theta )

And \tau _{x'x'}=-\frac{\sigma _{xx}-\sigma _{yy}}{2}sin(2\theta )+\tau _{xy}cos(2\theta )

Mohr's circle is the graphical representation of the variation represented by the above 2 formulae in the general oriented element of a body that is under stresses.

The Mohr circle is graphically displayed in the attached figure.

Which statement about tensile stress is true? A. Forces that act perpendicular to the surface and pull an object apart exert a t
svp [43]

Answer:

A. Forces that act perpendicular to the surface and pull an object apart exert a tensile stress on the object.

Explanation:

Tensile stress is referred as a deforming force, in which force acts perpendicular to the surface and pull an object apart, attempting to elongate it.

The tensile stress is a type of normal stress, in which a perpendicular force creates the stress to an object’s surface.

Hence, the correct option is "A."
